Got a little colder than forecast for this morning, 29 for a low at the airport.

It will be mid-upper 60's later today. More t'storm events possible Thursday into Friday towards this region.

I wanna believe!  Pretty much historic for late March.

 

My area will be alternating between tornadic storms and blizzards..

I think we are due for a 19th century winter. 

We know that would last one month. Just gimme a summer full of 80's, I can put up with some humidity.

Some history for eastern KY.

You’re going to have a huge severe weather season. Good luck.  

It seems like its gearing towards one.. in 2022 I would barely be at my first thunder right now and those were garden variety in early Spring.

Are you allergic?

I don't do anything in particular to avoid getting stung, and it's been over 20 years since my last sting (honeybee, so not bad at all, wasp stings are much more painful).

Not allergic fortunately. I mean, I still do basic things during that window of time, just maybe not weed eating or jogging between those handful of hours in the warmer seasons. 

His last day of activity was also when we had some respectable storms pounding the Ohio Valley region. Our winter time thunderstorms are usually not that exciting, but we had ones like in June or May, occur on Feb 28..

I live in (what was) murder hornet central. (It seems they have been wiped out; as far as I know, no new ones were seen last summer.) The actual risk was so overblown it was comical. Yes, they WOULD HAVE been a serious problem for the environment if they were not exterminated... Which is why there was an effort to exterminate them.

I made no changes to my life as a result. Still did lots of hiking. Still took lots of bike rides. Never saw a single giant hornet. Of course I didn't: there never were that many here.

Even in Japan where they are native (and common);people do all sorts of outdoor things without being stung to death by marauding hornets.

I started doing the majority of my outdoor activities on certain hours of the day (unless its not a warm day then it doesn't matter) Either the late morning or early evening. Most of the times I've been stung by a yellow jacket/hornet are between 12-4pm. It's been a few years since anything got me. I now have a property with even more of the critters than my other place in Klamath used to get, and so far this rule hasn't failed me.

Oh god I’m in for it now. I SWEAR I haven’t looked at LR models in 2+ weeks.  Have no idea what’s going on!

Might have to make myself scarce again until the next trough.

We thought something happened! Nice to see you around

Reminds me around this same time in March 2020 when a warm spell was in sight and there was some shaming (from the same person) of people cheering it on because it was going to kill people.  Because the best thing to stop COVID is cold, crappy weather so everyone stays inside.   Parks were deadly on a 65-degree sunny day.   

Then the whole thing with the murder hornets, still couldn't keep me inside! 

What a year.  

May was also dishing out cool mornings (but with mild afternoons) in K-Falls. Amazing what kind of heat was lurking just around the corner a month after that.

Hitting 10 in April would be pretty absurd even for most of the east side. Spokane, Colville, Omak, Moses Lake have all never done it.

Only a few places (other than way up in the Cascades) like Chesaw and Republic have.

I've had mid-upper teens in April but maybe not 10.

A few of those mornings in Apr 2021 were matching/setting daily records.

Some people are obsessed with hurricanes and tornadoes too.    People being fascinated by nature's extremes doesn't change nature in any way.    No idea why it matters.   I don't like extreme heat.   But trying to control people's feelings doesn't change the fact that it happens anyways.  

I would be one of the storm chasers that would walk with structure photography and a lightning show at sunset. Don't need to be across the street from an EF5..

The evenings sound totally like Spring now. Pulling out the big plastic fork...

I would not be too surprised if we get one spring snowstorm.

It would have to be a one hit wonder considering the way things swing around through the week.

And daytime highs had to have taken a blow by now unless you're far enough north to get cold days still.

As others have said, spring weather is much less consequential to the fire season than the summer weather. 2016 is another good example: very dry April/May, but the fire season wasn't nearly as bad as many other years the past decade.

Coming off of the show that was 2015, it was a much better year. There was a little smoke in August but went most of that summer free of smoke on the east sides. I wonder how often they have years like 2018 now, with seemingly longer stretches of dry in that area in the last several years.

At least this winter didn't end up in the top tier where I'm at. I even ended up with a cooler January than last year.

But none of these last few winters had more than a couple weeks worth of actual winter.

I hope its also on youtube, because that link doesn't work. Maybe they changed the settings to friends only. 

One of those odd days too where the high temperature occurred at 4am at 70 degrees, now it's 45 and with chilly gusts of wind in the middle of the day. The front must be coming through now. 

Sorry for the delay in updates, didn't have a lot of sleep last night.

Had multiple rounds of thunderstorms hit my place from 3am to 10am. The first one was an isolated cell and contained hail (it didn't last long enough to find a piece and measure it), sounded like a few penny size. Then from 6-8am more organized lines were moving across I-64 from Morehead to Huntington. The bigger line seemed to not have hail in them but higher lightning frequency and a much more wetting rain. 

Very eventful morning, I was in a Tornado Watch but looks like the ones in Kentucky had a harder time verifying compared to the ones up north into IL/IN last night. Still, Boyd County had like 2 or 3 Severe Thunderstorm Warnings from different cells! They seemed like late Spring type storms for sure. Some of the lightning was every 10 seconds or less.

I hope these between storms don't wreck later activity. Getting another isolated t'storm right now shaking the house. It's barely low 60's out, and was forecast to be 70+.

Some areas have just been upgraded to Enhanced!
